Abstract
The 13C(α, n) 16O reaction is believed to be the main neutron source reaction for the s-process in asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. The astrophysical S-factors of this reaction have been determined based on an evaluation of the α spectroscopic factor of the 1/2 + subthreshold state in 17O (E x = 6.356 MeV) by using the 13C( 11B, 7Li) 17O α transfer reaction. Our result confirms that the 1/2 + subthreshold resonance is dominant for the 13C(α, n) 16O reaction at low energies of astrophysical interest.
